We had a nice, quiet, Thanksgiving together in Rhode Island. Mike and Kimmy Garbett (Mike is Jared's classmate) invited us to their house for a potluck turkey dinner. It was a delicious dinner and it was a fun afternoon to spend with our friends. I made several pies, including Jared's favorite, lemon meringue. My mixer broke in the middle of whipping the meringue for the pie. Boo! There was no way I was whipping it by hand and the stores were closed. My clever and handy husband grabbed his power drill and attached a beater and finished whipping the meringue. My hero!
We took the boys bowling for the first time during the break. They had a great time rolling the balls down the "dragon" and doing victory dances. Jared and I had high scores thanks to the bumpers. Ha.
We also made thankful turkeys. Some of the things Brigham was thankful for: Jesus, primary, Book of Mormon, missionaries, Hartford temple (can you tell we made them right after church? But I was super proud that he wanted to list all of the spiritual ones first.), kindergarten, cousins, chocolate milk and smashed potatoes. Benson was thankful for cupcakes, blankies, animals, mom and dad, grandmas and grandpas, and nursery. We really do have a lot of things to be grateful for this year!
